Farm Labor Organizing Committee -Building on Victories
With
Baldemar Velasquez,
President,Farm Labor Organizing Committee

Building on the recent victory organizing over 7,000 guest workers
in a agreement with the North Carolina Growers Association, the
Farm Labor Organizing Committee is continuing its campaign to
organize 20,000 RJ Reynolds tobacco workers in 5 Southern states.
These are the first transnational collective bargaining agreements
in which the union recruits the workers in Mexico eliminating the
corruption & extortion previously paid by guest workers. Velasquez
talks about the hypocrisy of U.S. policies which promotes free
trade agreements which impoverish Mexican workers forcing them
to migrate to the U.S.. He also issues a call for the 2nd Continental
Conference Against Free Trade and Privatization.
